Yes, although clicking links on a page with mere pixels between them is still a PITA for many users. I was reminded of this using the super cheap mouse and acquaintance was using on a dinning table, and getting precision was possible but really frustrating. And they didn't like trackpads.

As more and more countries have aging population I'd expect these kind of accessibility issues to be more prominent. Sometimes I feel like using modes (vim style) could help, with the user getting different tradeoffs when "reading" and "manipulating", if there was an easy enough way to switch between one mode and the other.
